The purpose of the edge-blending process is to provide a smooth transition for the eye over

the blending region. To provide a smooth transition, identical image data from two different

projectors must be superimposed and the output from each projector must be edge

feathered to provide seamless optical mixing of the two source images. There are two

video processing functions that are required specifically to support wide-screen edge

blended displays: Image Overlap and Edge Feathering.

•Image Overlap

Source images consist of a single HD image that has been split into multiple

channels, or a series of images from a multi-head graphics card. In either case,

the source images must be re-formatted to provide image overlap to support the

edge-blending process. The Image Overlap processing is illustrated below. The

width of the blending region determines the amount of required image overlap and

this must be programmable to support different applications.
